Morphology

heartedness = hearted (transparent) = heart + ed + ness

Derived from the adjective 'hearted' with '-ness'; the sense of kindness or warmth is a direct extension of 'having heart'.

Etymology

Heartedness comes from the simple word heart, the part we use as a image for warm feeling and care, and you see the same idea in hearty. So heartedness can mean 'kindness' or a warm, sincere attitude toward others.
